    Exploration of Electrostatics Effect on Dispersion and Coating Mechanisms in Dry Powder Inhalers by Discrete Element Method
    (Elsevier, 2025) Saeid, Pooya; Kazemi, Saman; Zarghami, Reza; Sotudeh-Gharebagh, Rahmat; Mostoufi, Navid
    Improving drug delivery in the respiratory system relies on the effective coating and dispersion of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in dry powder inhalers (DPIs) and the respiratory system's airways. This study aims to explore the impact of different factors on coating APIs on carrier particles, considering electrostatic and van der Waals forces using the discrete element method (DEM). This study focuses on the critical elements of API dispersion, specifically collisions between API-coated carrier particles with each other and DPI walls. The factors influencing the dispersion ratio in these collisions, such as impact velocity, contact angle, and particle charge, are examined. Additionally, a reduced-scale shaking DPI with three frequencies is used to investigate the API coating mechanism on carriers, which was not explored in previous studies. The difference in work function between carrier particles and APIs generates charge in the shaking DPI due to collisions. This causes electrostatic force to dominate over van der Waals force, breaking agglomerates and attaching APIs to carrier particles. This study shows that the amount of generated charge increases with particle collisions and that charge distribution becomes more balanced over time through charge exchange between particles. By elucidating the relationships among impact velocity, dispersion ratio, shaking frequency, and contact angles, this study paves the way for future research on more efficient DPI designs.

    Dye Removal by Polymer Derived Ceramic Nanobeads
    (Elsevier, 2021) İçin, Öykü; Ahmetoğlu, Çekdar Vakıf
    Emulsion processed polymer derived ceramic (PDC) nanobeads are used for Methylene Blue dye removal from aqueous solutions. The PDC nanobeads, produced at 600 degrees C and 1200 degrees C pyrolysis, are subsequently coated with titania (anatase). Titania-coated nanobeads show less than 35%, i.e., limited dye adsorption capability in dark. Instead, enhanced total removal efficiency (similar to 97%) is obtained when the initial adsorption is succeeded by photodegradation under UV. Direct reusability tests show that even after the third cycle, very high regeneration efficiencies being above 92% are observed for titania-coated nanobeads.

    Protection of Marble Surfaces by Using Biodegradable Polymers as Coating Agent
    (Elsevier, 2009) Ocak, Yılmaz; Sofuoğlu, Aysun; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Böke, Hasan
    Biodegradable polymers have been replaced over the synthetic polymers in many applications due to their good properties such as reversibility and biodegradability. Therefore they allow new treatment on the surface of the material to be protected and they fulfil the principles generally accepted by the International Conservation Community of Historic Monuments and Buildings. In this study, the efficiency of four different biodegradable polymers as protective coatings on marble-SO2 reaction was investigated. The polymers used were zein, chitosan, polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), and poly-l-lactide (PLA). The mineralogical composition, bulk density and porosity of uncoated marble were determined. The water vapor permeability, water absorption by capillary forces, surface wettability, and color alteration of uncoated and coated marbles were measured. For sulphation reaction, marble slabs were coated with these polymers and then they were exposed at nearly 8 ppm SO2 concentration at 100% relative humidity conditions together with uncoated ones in a reaction chamber for several days for testing their protection efficiency. The extent of reaction was determined by leaching of gypsum formed on the marble surfaces in deionized water and then determining the sulphate content by ion chromatography. The protection efficiency of polymer treatments was expressed as comparing the gypsum crust thickness of the coated and uncoated marble plates. The comparison among the polymers showed that the surface hydrophobicity, water capillary absorption and structure of polymer would be important factors affecting the protection efficiency. The use of high molecular weight PLA (HMWPLA) polymer on marble surfaces provided significant protection up to 60% which was indicated that HMWPLA polymer seems to be promising polymer as protective coating agent in reducing gypsum formation on marble surfaces in the polluted environment.
